Karl Marx #2
Karl Marx's idea of Communism was to make the poor people dominate their master and take over. Communism is the government system in which the government controls everything and people are paid the same money. Karl Marx wanted Communism to take over the world becuase he didn't like the fact that the workers were looked down upon their masters. He didn't like the fact that workers were getting poorer and the owners were getting richer, and that wasn't fair. He wanted everything to be the same so people would be treated fairly which meant there was going to be a classless society. Karl Marx saw the owners or the rich people the bad guys becuase they were the cause that the workers were living in poverty. Workers weren't paid that much compared to the owners of factories or other businesses. He saw the workers and poor people as the good guys. Karl Marx himself was also living in poverty.
